He’s always been a useful idiot to those in power. Hopping aboard the Climate Change Denial bandwagon is perfectly consistent with his personality; he’s an ultra right wing shill, and cannot be reasoned with.

CNBCs Joe Kernen is really going after me on twitter. He’s out of control, acting like an MRA with his foot stuck in a trap. It’s all about climate change but he’s also really pissed that I’m a feminist liberal pro environment kinda guy.

His handle is @JoeSquawk

I mention this because as a sorta-climatologist in a blood red state, I am often called on to talk about climate change, usually to be people who don’t believe it’s happening and are sure it’s all natural if it is. One of the main lines of argument I hear from these folks is that it was hotter in the 1930s, without global warming, and what about that Medieval Warm Period. They have a hard time with the fact that both of these events were regional, whereas what were seeing now can only really be explained by a global scale driver. This guy’s screed kind of reminded me of that. People have a hard time seeing outside of their own little bubble. Pity. Apologies for the long post, but one occasionally needs to vent.

I think, maybe, the thing with the forests, he might be saying something like, “look the glaciers melted and uncovered big forests which would indicate a much warmer period before the glacier was there.” Or something.

I’m not sure I would take financial or money advice from him.
